Sadness Poem by Kristina Louisa Carr

Some days I am sad and I don't know why
I can see an overcast in a brightly blue sky
Sleeping in I still lack energy and motivation
My whole life appears to be one stagnation

Feeling pain without actually being hurt
I can't swallow my food and leave dessert
My eyes are burning with tears never cried
I miss everything I haven't done yet and hide

Surrounded by thick layers of a heavy haze
My thoughts are bleak and I'm lost in a maze
I can listen to music without hearing a sound
Breathing is difficult and happiness not found

Sitting by the window I can see life passing by
But I am only watching as being on standby
While bathing in quicksand I am slowly sinking
And dark clouds are preventing me from thinking

Those days are difficult and hard to overcome
Because all emotions are muffled and numb
Sad days are lonely and I feel cold and strange
But tomorrow is a new day and it brings change
